Full title: Hours after being robbed at work, Cumberland Farms cashier Douglas Moore fired for having too much money in register

[matt04]

So the employee knows that had a significant amount of money in the drawer over the $75 maximum. They then go and whine to the press, who reports it knowing full well that Cumberland Farms legally can not comment on personnel matters.

Of course the press is happy that they have made the public hate a big evil corporation.

If you don't have to raise money for the poor, then you'd be out of a job.

Oh please, gentlemen, don't ask me to put you out of a job. Not on Christmas!

The $75 limit is a robbery deterrent that limits the typical “score” to $40-50 and helps drive criminals elsewhere.

Keeping more than that in the drawer needlessly puts every cashier in that store at risk.

This guy knew the policy and understood what it was for, but he took a gamble that it would never happen to him. He lost.

The title should say “Fired for NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES”

In all fairness, if it was any reasonable state, there should be a public collection made to buy the clerk a gun, so he wouldn’t be so defenseless.

In Arizona, the press usually don’t report that an armed robber robbed a store. Most of the time it is “the deceased was *attempting* to rob a store.”

Which goes along well with other crime news, such as, “the deceased drew his gun on an officer”, “the deceased was trying to carjack a vehicle”, and “the deceased was attempting a home invasion.”

Most folks don’t understand that keeping too much money in the till is one of the leading causes of impulse robberies. Crooks do watch the drawer, often they will use a large bill to pay for something minimal in cost, just to gauge if it’s worth robbing you or not.

Robberies kill people. I might not have fired him, depending on his history, but I sure would have penalized him.

Good luck getting anyone to work at this store now, lol. Hopefully this kid will find a job paying way more than $9 bucks an hour.

Cumby’s have a *night drop box*, usually right near the register; only the manager has a key/combination to this safe. All employees, as part of their training, know this. So sad, too bad.

Moore said he was forced to put on hold pursuit of his bachelor’s degree in accounting that he is taking through the online program at Colorado Technical University while he looks for work.

Time to pull out the violins as this story gets sadder and sadder.......

Sounds like this place is run by complete numbskulls
